Introduction

Prepare To Be Blown Away! What is scientific fact – and what is Hollywood fantasy? Some of the most thrilling weapons action sequences from movies and TV are put to the test on Hollywood Weapons.

Outline

Each episode our hosts, Terry Schappert, take a scene from a TV show or Movie where a weapon is used, and test that weapon using real world conditions to see if it’s Fact or Fiction.

The Host

Terry Schappert is a United States Army National Guard Special Forces veteran and martial artist who is a periodic commentator on FOX News, who hosted the 2009 show Warriors on the History Channel. He left active duty before 9/11, but continues to serve in the Army National Guard. He has deployed three times since as a Guardsman. He has also had minor acting roles. He hosted a special during the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week where he demonstrated ways in which to survive a shark attack. He also makes occasional guest appearances on The Greg Gutfeld Show and previously made appearances on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. He appeared on the cast of Dude, You’re Screwed on the Discovery Channel.

In 2016, Terry became the host of Hollywood Weapons Fact or Fiction, which is dedicated to testing scenes from TV shows and movies where a weapon is used in a way that seems unbelievable. Terry and his co-host Larry Zanoff, a Hollywood prop master and armourer, put these scenes to the test. The show originated on The OUTDOOR Channel and now has moved to Netflix.
